One of the advantages of nuclear power over traditional fossil fuels is that nuclear power produces much larger amount of power. <span>The Fort Calhoun plant in Nebraska has one reactor with the smallest generating capacity1 of 479 megawatts (MW). Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer: B. pressure changes in the thorax
Explanation:
The veins are the blood vessels which returns the deoxygenated blood from all the tissues and cells of the body back to the heart. The ventricular systole, venous valves, activity of the skeletal muscles and neural control over venoconstriction all influence the movement of the blood in the venous.
The pressure changes in the thorax occurs due to inspiration and expiration. During the process of inspiration, the diaphragm below the lungs contracts and moves downward while the muscles of the ribs pulls downward. When the size of the thoracic cavity increase the air pressure inside the cavity decreases and vice-versa. The pressure inside the thoracic cavity is not related with the movement of the venous blood as it regulates the exchange of the gases not the blood.
Answer:
Rats - Virgin Island
Hemlock - Asia
Zebra moulds - Great Lakes
Explanation:
An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.
Three invasive species are as following:
- Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
- The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
- Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants
